My working experience in America vs. the World, and why other countries are doing better. )

My stage 2 job interview the other day left me feeling nervous. However, I did "pitch" to them my self-improvement plan for the next few months: earning a CCNA, Improving my Chinese(with new certifications), earning Linux+, etc. etc.

Although the company was based in Prague, my interviewer was from Ukraine. My Ukrainian interviewer's accent was a little bit thick and I started the interview by speaking to her in my broken Russian. I believe she was impressed also seeing that my Chinese was "relatively" fluent according to my resume. I told her that I made some "homework" for the bash-scripting that I was learning over the past seven days. She requested me to email the bash-scripts that I wrote, and so that is what I did. I hope that she can see the potential I have vs. other candidates.

The company hopes to get an office set up in Texas one day. Me and my wife also hope that this is one of the states where we will relocate to one day. I may also get the opportunity to travel to HQ one day, but I don't think that is likely.

The starting salary? 2500. But I get a contract. And if I'm getting terminated, I will have a 30 day notice.

Stage 3 interview should be scheduled with the (software/firmware) product manager at the company ensuring that I know what I am talking about when it comes to our product.

As of yesterday, I picked up my Russian Language textbook. Started learning again. did 4 pomodoros with it. I wanted to do 8 with my Chinese yesterday, but something came up and got in the way.
